Kingdom Hearts Inverted Hearts

Article about a non-notable fan-based, video game. Doesn't meet Wikipedia Standards. Had Template:Tl on there but creator/fans removed it; so I am taking it here. DGX 20:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Not notable. DarthVader 22:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Doesn't seem to have any sources other than its own website, which is currently down. -- SCZenz 22:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • The site is currently down as it is undergoing server transition. It should be up by next week again (No, I'm not an administrator of KHIH). Also, In my opinion, give it some time and see if it improves a bit. It was only set up reciently afterall, and needs time to situate and be fleshed out. ~RD — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.234.81 (talk • contribs)
    • It's not about how it was written or the way it looks (or at least right now). Right now, it's about WP:V and WP:N which it fails both. DGX 23:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
• DELETE ALL FAN-MADE GAMES! God, I hate gamecruft. But anyway, to say this in a slightly nicer way, the subject of the article is non-notable, and is unworthy of a WP entry. On a sidenote, that's a terrible name for a game. -- Kicking222 23:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, for anyone who wants to know, Googling "Kingdom Hearts Inverted Hearts" brings up 66 total hits. -- Kicking222 23:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Hey Kicking222! You may think our title sounds bad but your username stinks and you don't see me complaining!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkside597 (talk • contribs)
    • Don't delete this it's not advertising for sqaure enix or anything it's only telling about the game and just because it's fan made does not mean it should be deleted and have any of you played the demo just try it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.219.230.248 (talk • contribs)
    • So the site is down and you instantly jump in saying its not verifiable. Real smart... And as for it being non-notable, give it a break, it gets bigger every day. Sheesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.235.42.36 (talk • contribs)
      • Um... Take a look and read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Reliable sources. I think you'll find that the site being down isn't the issue. And "bigger every day" isn't the standard for notability; already notable is. If the game gets some serious critical reviews, the issue can be reconsidered. -- SCZenz 02:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable game. --Starionwolf 03:29, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Kill. This goes beyond "fancruft", which I would often consider includable if the article was well written, into just plain laughable. You might as well make an article for your erotic fanfiction crossover story. Seriously, the game isn't even DONE yet! --Tjstrf 07:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Random fangame, and if temporary disappearance of web site means there's no buzz whatsoever anywhere else (zero Google hits the way I searched, as well as whole three incoming links to home page), it isn't looking good from the notability perspective. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:34, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep The game may be fan based, but it is a game none the less. Just because something is not famous does not make it un-noteworthy. If it has the need to have information gathered to those who seek it then let it be included. The reason an encyclopedia is there, is for people to look at it for reference and knowledge. If someone looks for this information and this article is deleted, that means the person will not find it.Smile Lee 09:14, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Reply The game doesn't actually exist yet though. Also, making an article on a fanbased game with no claim to notability simply "because it exists" is a weak argument at best. We don't make articles on individual series doujin, fan based extensions of manga series, do we? --Tjstrf 13:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Please see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We do not have articles on things merely because they exist. -- SCZenz 15:09, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
